I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 653 A celebrity friend of mine

Spring is approaching.

The warm sunlight falls softly, making people want to lie down in a comfortable position, close their eyes and take a nap.

Therefore, no matter how loudly the organizers of this music festival shouted through the loudspeakers, the workers responsible for setting up the venue still moved slowly and were extremely reluctant.

Even Lulu, who is always very hardworking, was too lazy to greet the organizers. She just hid behind the shadow of the billboard with a huge sun hat on her head, and scrolled through Weibo out of boredom.

This was Iris' first time attending a music festival. Xiao Zheng and Lulu had carefully examined the reliability of the organizer, the event facilities, and the venue.

The organizers are very experienced and have held many similar events before. Unless a volcanic eruption causes a tsunami, there will definitely not be some unfortunate accidents such as "this event is cancelled due to force majeure";

In terms of event facilities, for singers, sound is of course the most important. When Xiao Zheng was communicating with the organizer, he said it very tactfully:
"You also know that when our singer officially debuted, he participated in "The Masked Singer."

It seems gentle on the surface, but it is actually stressful.

So the organizer bought a new set of equipment overnight, but this cooperation was obviously not a loss - come on, she is Iris. As soon as the news was released, the ticket prices skyrocketed like crazy, and scalpers all celebrated the New Year in advance.

Lulu was thinking about all these things when she suddenly felt a cold and sharp pain on the back of her neck, which startled her and she screamed.

Xiao Zheng's frivolous laughter came from behind, and Lulu turned around with a dark face.

"Are you sick!"

"There happened to be someone selling ice cream over there just now, and he said thank you, Brother Zheng."

Xiao Zheng's sunglasses covered most of his face and he handed over the vanilla ice cream in his hand.

"cut."

Lulu curled her lips and scooped a spoonful into her mouth.

The soft sea breeze blew towards my face, and the sea level in the distance was shining with golden light.

As the vanilla ice cream was melting, Lulu suddenly remembered.

Last but not least, the venue.

The reason why Chen Jinzhi agreed to attend this music festival was actually because she wanted to see the sea.

This sea area is very famous in this coastal city and was a famous tourist attraction many years ago.

However, as the years go by, more and more commercial and convenient attractions emerge, and only a few people are willing to cross half the city to come to such a remote area.

Chen Jinzhi supported his chin and looked into the distance at the sea.

During this period of time, apart from losing some weight, she seemed to be living well and still looked as if she was able to handle everything with ease.

The waves rolled down to the beach, and occasionally a bird flew by, casting its mottled shadow on the rocks like scattered gold.

Next to the billboard on the other side, Lulu raised the ice cream in her hand towards this side and shook it back and forth as a hint.

Chen Jinzhi raised the corner of his mouth slightly and shook his head to refuse.

The breeze slightly wrinkled the smile in her eyes, and a slight feeling of drunkenness suddenly filled the air.

Despite the long distance between them, Lulu still felt as if she was under a spell and was infatuated.

To be honest, she hadn't seen Chen Jinzhi smile for a long time.

Of course, it wasn't Iris' signature smile that was used for commercial purposes, but a natural smile like this one.

So it was not until this moment that people felt that spring had really come.

When the music festival officially started, the invited artists came backstage to prepare in an orderly manner. With Iris as the heavyweight finale, the lineup in the front was also quite attractive.

All the fans arrived at the entrance early to queue up. They had no time to enjoy the beach scenery. They just sprinted at the speed of a 100-meter sprint to grab the good seats in the front row.

Just an hour after the show started, the crowd on the beach had already gathered so densely that there was almost no space from a distance.

"Oh my god, this is the first time I've seen a music festival on this scale."

Xiao Zheng crossed his arms, looked at the crowd outside, and couldn't help but complain.

Lulu took the program list, exclaimed "Ah" with some surprise, and pointed out a familiar name.

"Iris, look! Vivian is here today too, what a coincidence!"

Vivian was someone that Chen Jinzhi met when she participated in "Masked Singer". She has fair skin, beautiful looks, and both talent and looks.

At that time, Chen Jinzhi always came first, while Vivian was unlucky and often came last. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"What a coincidence."

Unexpectedly, Chen Jinzhi smiled and told the truth.

"I recommended Vivian to the organizer. I saw on WeChat Moments that she didn't have many announcements recently, so I asked her if she was interested in participating."

"So that's it."

Lulu stuck out her tongue, not knowing whether to lament that the show "Masked Singer" was a double-edged sword, which directly caused Vivian, who had a good reputation at the beginning, to fall to the bottom, or whether to praise Chen Jinzhi for being kind and considerate, and for being willing to help her out even after not contacting her for such a long time, even though the two of them were not even friends.

"Tsk."

Xiao Zheng shook his head and sighed.

Being accustomed to the cold-blooded and ruthless entertainment industry, he naturally did not support Chen Jinzhi's helpful behavior, but his own artist had noble character, and because of this character, he indeed had an excellent reputation and popularity both inside and outside the circle.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zheng couldn't help but sideways glance at Chen Jinzhi.

It was still early and she had not changed out of her performance clothes. She put on a thin sweater and stood casually leaning against the side door with her body balanced.

It seems that I am in good condition today. I wonder if it’s because I saw the sea.

In this situation, Xiao Zheng hesitated for a long time, and finally asked:
"Iris, what song did you choose for tonight's performance? You have only communicated with the organizer. If anything goes wrong later, we as assistants may not be able to react in time."

"Don't worry, there won't be any accidents, Brother Zheng."

Chen Jinzhi stared at the phone screen without even raising his head and answered in a gentle tone.

This answer meant that it would not be revealed now. Xiao Zheng understood this, so he sighed and changed the subject.

"Recently, many producers have contacted our studio, saying they want to discuss cooperation with you. Some have even sent us demos directly, saying they are tailor-made for you. Although that happened before, I understand your feelings... but it is not a solution for us to not release new songs. You can consider it when you are free."

Xiao Zheng finished speaking these words in one breath, then glanced at her with some trepidation.

Although what he said sounded reasonable and well-founded, in the final analysis he was just trying to sound out that disappointing brother, and he felt a little guilty about it.

"Okay, I'll consider it."

However, Chen Jinzhi's answer was quite unexpected.

As such a smart person, she naturally knew what Xiao Zheng was trying to do by going around in so many circles, but she still gave a positive answer.

Xiao Zheng was slightly stunned, but suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

It’s hard to say what’s ominous about it, but it’s just ominous.

The three people in the backstage fell into silence at the same time, and only the passionate drum beats and the singers' enthusiastic cheers from the stage in front could be heard. The music festival officially began.

……

As night fell, the audience below the stage was already somewhat exhausted, but when they thought of the name of the last performer, they felt their cerebral cortex become excited again.

Unlike the previous performers, Chen Jinzhi's appearance did not have any gorgeous music or eye-catching lights. She just walked out slowly and stood in the center of the stage.

Today, Chen Jinzhi is wearing a long dress, her skin is whiter than snow, and she is as beautiful as a banished fairy.

Then the cheers from the audience surged up like waves hitting the shore.

"Iris! Iris! Iris!"

“Jinzhi ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

"Mom loves you!!!"

"Chen Jinzhi, we like you!"

Hearing the familiar cheers, Chen Jinzhi nodded slightly in thanks, then smiled gently.

She turned the microphone and spoke softly:

“Thank you very much for coming from afar to attend this festival. Good evening everyone.

The sea breeze is a bit strong today, will it be cold? "

As soon as she said this, there was a burst of screams from the audience mixed with shouts of "It's not cold".

"Because it's a bit late, the transportation back to the city may be a bit inconvenient. Considering everyone's safety, I have asked the organizer to organize a free bus to take everyone back to the city."

Chen Jinzhi tucked the hair that was messed up by the sea breeze behind her ears and smiled gently.

She said this in a calm tone, as if this was something she should have considered.

But in fact, no artist has ever treated his fans so gently and attentively.

For a moment, the audience even forgot to cheer. They just felt that the big star on the stage who was the focus of everyone's attention was so beautiful that it seemed unreal.

Chen Jinzhi sat down on a chair in the center of the stage and tilted his head to nod to the staff on the other side.

"Today, the song I want to give to everyone is called "A Taoist Nun Friend of Mine", which is adapted from the song "One Star". I hope you will like it."

"..."

Xiao Zheng and Lulu, who were waiting backstage, looked up in surprise and glanced at each other.

This song has just become somewhat popular on the Internet. It is an ancient style song and is not originally related to a singer like Chen Jinzhi who started out as an idol and transformed himself.

So why did she choose this song?

……

"That year, the long streets were filled with spring.
Riding horses together in the misty rain is like a dream,

Hiding from the rain under the eaves, I looked into a pair of deep eyes.
It's like the breeze on Mount Huashan carrying fine snow."

Chen Jinzhi's voice is clear and cold, which fits the lyrics of the song very well with the light snow and breeze, but her pronunciation tonight is particularly gentle, as if she wants to tell a story to the listeners.

This story seems to be going smoothly from the time they met in the underworld to the time they fell in love. However, the change in pace makes people feel uneasy.

"Outside the mountain gate, snow brushed against white clothes and melted at the fingertips.
Carrying a long sword, I wonder where to go in the vast world.

At this point in my life, I am like a joke, I even laugh at myself.
Wishful thinking has a beginning but no end. "

When Chen Jinzhi sang to this point, Xiao Zheng and Lulu in the backstage finally understood why she chose this song.

This was originally a story about a love triangle.

Chen Jinzhi stood up under the spotlight to welcome the only design for the next stage.

Artificial snowflakes drifted down in the wind. She gently raised her hand, and the condensed ice crystals melted between her fingers.

She seemed to have walked out of the song. At this moment, her coldness and heartbreak were so real that the audience couldn't help but hold their breath and worry about her.

"If you had been of one mind with others,

Why did you make me give my love to the wrong person?
Do you think I am so depressed?

You are actually moved.

Fortunately, after years of wandering in the world,

This heart is already full of holes,
Why should I fear that you will use your indifference as a blade to add another crack?
It won’t hurt.”

As the music gradually slowed down, she finally sang the words.

"If this life is a mistake in meeting,
I wish for a good end.”

……

It turns out that creating a god-level stage doesn’t require much thought.

Chen Jinzhi just stood there quietly and sang a song. The scene was completely silent, but the Internet went wild with the news, and every video became increasingly popular.

So, of course, Su Chengyi also saw the video that the audience at the scene couldn't wait to upload.

It’s “A Taoist Nun Friend of mine”.

If it was Chen Jinzhi, perhaps the name could be changed to "A Celebrity Friend of mine".

Su Chengyi lowered his eyes and clicked on the video.

Yes, it is normal for Chen Jinzhi to choose this song. No one in the world is more suitable than her for the line "If you have already fallen in love with someone else, why did you make me fall in love with the wrong person?"

When the audience listens to her performance, they probably just think that this is the story told by the lyrics. Only those who have experienced that Shura field know that in fact, every word and sentence is about themselves.

She didn't seem to be very emotional when she sang, although both her voice and eyes were moving enough, as could be seen from the audience who were moved to tears.

But Su Chengyi knew clearly that she was just acting - because he had seen how she looked when she was truly moved.

However, this vague sense of superiority did not last long, because he saw the talking session at the end of the video.

Every word Chen Jinzhi said made his fingertips turn white, and gradually he could only hear his own breathing.

“Thanks to the band teacher and the organizer for the invitation. I hope everyone likes this song and also supports the Gufeng original creation team.”

"Ah, look, the moon is rising above the sea. It's very beautiful."

“I’m very happy to see you all tonight, and I’m also very happy to see such a beautiful moon.

So, in addition to this, I would like to take this opportunity to tell you a decision. "

"I have decided to temporarily quit the music industry."
